The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office will be working extra hours enforcing seatbelt laws, patrolling for impaired drivers and conducting sobriety checkpoints, after receiving a grant from the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.

The $280,000 grant covers overtime for officers and its goal is to reduce fatal and injury crashes on Louisiana roadways, the sheriff’s office said Tuesday. The sheriff’s office is also working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on the Click It or Ticket seatbelt campaign, and the Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over campaign.

More than 50 people died and 8,000 were injured last year on East Baton Rouge Parish roads.

“We want to remind all drivers to be safe and responsible drivers,” Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Casey Rayborn Hicks said in a statement. “Eliminate distractions like texting while driving, and make sure you and all your occupants buckle your seatbelts.”
